Yet Another Valentine's Gift from Saphire

Just saw this nice Valentine's Gift to Yong Joon on baidu.com by Saphire ( 蓝宝石别墅 ), the title is [Yong Joon Happy Valentine's Day] The Florescent Present ( 【勇俊情人节快乐】如花的此刻 ).

Let me paste the entire article here first. I love the writing but I am not sure if I can translate it well.



  所有的花都只开一次,便是同时同地,今年的花也与去年的不同。--这种话,年少不知愁时,觉得它美;初涉人事,又曾因此忧伤;而如今,我只觉平常。永 远就是无数的现在,永远有多远,现在就有多长。想告诉你,勇俊,现在,此刻,你依然有我,我依然爱你。心香绽放,不让繁花。想你的此刻,我的心仍是天真的 小王子,独占一颗星球;你仍是我唯一的玫瑰花,天下无双。这是我常青的幻想,不灭的记忆。
  是的,因为你,我经常幻想。这个人类童年的游戏,在我已经沧桑的年纪,为你复活并生动。它总以火焰的形式开始,然后明亮地燃过,优美地凝结,像冰像雪。我喜欢奉它在你阳光般的容颜之畔,让你笑的暖意爱抚,看它安静地融化,如长歌之水,我心欢悦。
  因为你,我也经常回忆。这人生赠予暮年的厚礼,你让我提前享受它的芳泽丰沛。我喜欢把回忆串成花环,奉它于梦神的颈上、心间的莲座,让与你同在的岁月暗香浮动,滋润总是仓促的年华。
  可是,我不知道为什么要对你说这些,勇俊。也许只是习惯了,习惯了向你吐露一些远离尘嚣的情愫,宠爱一下那些不太现实的语言。我恋慕它们的美,如同恋慕着你。
  就好像,我梦想为爱情吹笛,可以不在乎孤寂。独自登上诗里的玉楼,让笛声飞扬,越过洛水,飘落长安。
  而为什么说是长安?我不知道,如同爱你执着得没有理由。只是喜欢,喜欢说长安繁华于盛唐,喜欢说,秦时明月,汉家关山。
  多么希望与你同在的天地成为仙境,仙境里的时间可以停驻。你容颜不老,我痴心不改。万物生辉,春光长在。
  而只在说话的瞬间,光阴又轻跳过一个脚步。现在永在流逝,我们都在生活。眼前身畔,总有尘世的风烟。
  你听到滚滚红尘的窃窃私语吗?你知道爱是怎样常怀忧心吗?
  你在勉力拍你的新戏,我一边在为生计奔波,一边为了对你放不开的牵挂,开始担忧它可能遇到的麻烦。
  可是,当我仍在此刻,在这里,感觉到爱的如常,回望那些幻想和回忆的光辉,这一切,便又不足挂齿。
  就让我们继续同行,向前走去,去接近属于各自的地平线,给世界一个宠辱不惊的身影。凡人的身后总归静默,而你的身后,注定了喧哗。我多么希望这喧哗只是如潮的礼赞,而若不能,我依然,信任你的坚强。
  勇俊,这便是我们的平常岁月,如花的此刻,是今天、现在,也是明日、永远。
  或许,又和你说这么多,只是因为今天有一个好听的名字:情人节。其实没有根本的不同。今天,我会和爱侣相伴,也会和你相伴。这样如常渡过,和我挚爱的先生,也和挚爱的你,勇俊。岁月的眼睛,会看到此刻的玫瑰,盛放的丰姿。
  可是,真的,又为什么要对你说这些?
  是怕沉默吧,怕沉默之中,泪水会模糊我的视线。
  情人节快乐,勇俊。
  珍重我爱,你要幸福。


His Song

In the last posting, I shared a beautiful flash created by shaofeiliu, "Joon ssi, Happy Vanlentine's Day!", in this flash, a pretty song was played, and we call it BYJ's song. Jaime kind of asking about the origin of this song, or the origin of why this song is called "his song". I digged through bb's posting on 2006 June 06, here is the link to that month's archive, I could not figure out how to get to that particular posting, so here I might as well copy paste the entire article since it is not too long anyway.



you're born to be loved

ginnie asks:
What is the origin of the Bae Yong Joon song "Born to be loved"? Why is this song considered BYJ's song? I love the song very much. Do you have the lyrics and more information on the singer?

bb says:
now i'm not the authority on this one, what i do know is also told to me by other fans. so i'm just re-telling the story. if anyone of you out there knows otherwise, or have additional information to share, pls pls pls share, k?

'born to be loved' is actually a hymn, quite a popular one amongst christians in korea apparently. and of course, it was and still is an ode to god.

but many, many moons ago, i've no idea how long, the song was already adopted as the BYJ's song when i became a fan in 2002. apparently, some korean fans had found the lyrics of the song befitting of how they felt about the man, how he really, really, really seemed to be someone who's born to be loved. so they started treating the song like his song.

later, when the man began mesmerizing and dazzling more women outside of korea, for instance, in taiwan, hong kong and singapore... fan clubs started sprouting and they too started to see this song as the song for the man. the chinese fans event went so far as to re-write the lyrics into chinese whilst keeping the meaning of the song
为爱而生...

there're quite many versions to this song... and sorry, i don't know who the original singer is. there's a very popular female version, there's also a male one, and a children's one, and then an instrumental one. and quite recently, korean pop singer lee soo young also included this song in one of her albums. i like the lee soo young version the best.

and oh, click here
to download the earlier female version.

as for the lyrics... yea, i've them. not quite sure what version you want... so will post the english one for you, so that you understand what's being sung. addicted, are you here? or any other korean fans out there? could you help me check if the english version's correct? and i'll also post the romanized korean lyrics so that it's easier for you to sing along, k?


the english version

Yong Joon ssi, Happy Valentine's Day!

Omoh Omoh! Look what I found! Another surprise from shaofeiliu! (Maybe it's just a surprise to me, I am always slow on everything.)

See I told ya, there are so many different talents from wuri yong joon's family. We are so blessed! Through shaofeiliu's flash work "Blue Valentine", I did more digging, and found this treasure - shaofeiliu put Jaime's Manet series artwork into a flash and played the fan's love song as the background, to me this is the signature love song to wuri yong joon.

Here is the link "Yong Joon ssi, Happy Vanlentine's Day!"

Thank you shaofeiliu !!!

Blue Valentine Surprise - Sensual Yong Joon Flash

Valentine's Day is approaching. I posted my translation of Jaime's Sensual YJ II on baidu as Valentine's present to yong joon ssi and his fan family.

Love To Death

Saw a nice post on baidu, writer wrote about her passion to BYJ and Winter Sonata, included a poem I really like, "Love To Death", here is the original Chinese version. It tells our determination to love our prince, eh?


死了都要爱 信乐团

死了都要爱
不淋漓尽致不痛快
感情多深只有这样
才足够表白
死了都要爱
不哭到微笑不痛快
宇宙毁灭心还在
把每天当成是末日来相爱
一分一秒都美到泪水掉下来
不理会别人是看好或看坏
只要你勇敢跟我来
爱不用刻意安排
凭感觉去亲吻相拥就会很愉快
享受现在别一开怀就怕受伤害
许多奇迹我们相信才会存在
死了都要爱
不淋漓尽致不痛快
感情多深只有这样才足够表白
死了都要爱
不哭到微笑不痛快
宇宙毁灭心还在
穷途末路都要爱
不极度浪漫不痛快
发会雪白土会掩埋
思念不腐坏
到绝路都要爱
不天荒地老不痛快
不怕热爱变火海
爱到沸腾才精采

Translation - 感性勇俊 – 影相艺术系列(二)

亲爱的姐妹们 ...


去年在完成了我的第一篇关于古典植物扎记的影相艺术系列之后, 我开始对这位相对来说不大知名的摄影师感到好奇.令我惊喜的是,她出版的下一部关于氰版照相法的书又不负众望.


被这种古典照相印刷艺术所吸引,摄影师塞娃.欧邦慕引领我们进入了一个丰富绚丽,变幻无穷的蓝色世界, 巧妙地以现代艺术形式将她的影像装饰起来.





从深奥神秘的午夜星空,到轻亮透明流淌的小溪, 我总是被那蓝色频谱平静的美所迷惑.从天鹅绒般浓厚的靛青蓝,凉爽的热带水绿蓝,到奢华闪烁的银泽蓝,这些幽雅的图案散发出温柔,忧郁,孤独,,甚至是诱惑的情感.





通过这有着幽雅色彩的精髓,所有多余的细节都被解除,只留下最本征的影象轮廓,这种艺术为我们奉献出图象的精华. 我们便可以对这些形态的相互感应作出自由的释译 无论是图案,动作或是生活本身.







作为一名摄影热爱者和前成均馆大学摄影系的大学生,我们的王子肯定可以欣赏氰版照相法的艺术和科学,以及它在摄影历史中所占有的特殊地位.


这首七十年代的著名器乐曲Samba Pa Ti”,传奇演奏家卡罗丝.桑塔纳带我进入了我们勇俊王子感伤的梦幻世界.能够探究他高雅的形体和感的举止的方方面面是多么的令人愉快.能够将他的现代风格和神秘情感与他天堂般优美的侧面影象结合起来是多么的令人满足.通过这篇作品的创作过程我对这位非凡人物的赞美和热爱又加深了一层.我喜爱将我对勇俊无限的热情与你们共享,希望你们欣赏我们氰版照相法中的感王子.







:

* 氰版照相法是一种古老的单色照相印刷工艺. 它所用的化学配方是由英国的天文学家约翰.赫谢尔爵士于1842年发明的.在摄影术发明之后三年, 这项发明诞生了,它为复制大型工程制图和运算提供了有效的方法. 这种印刷术产生的效果是以青蓝色为背景,图象具有白色的轮廓,就是众所周知的蓝图.

English : BYJ : How Come? One Hundred Thousand Times

Ha Thanks to Jaime, I found this English translation by the original author. Love it! I am filling the words missing by copy/paste.

Author : CJNY
Posted on KOB




This writing is mess because my mind is mess. I didn’t even think about posing it before. But I have been so touched by Hu Bo Xin Jie and everyone who went to support him on Nov. 29, 2006. I post it now to thank all of you. Thank you all for bringing love and support to him on behalf of all of us who were unable to be there.

Love and support BYJ WHATEVER FOREVER!


BYJ: How Come? One Hundred Thousand Times 1

Is BYJ beauty?

Ha, after 20 days I saw him, I had the answer. He absolutely is.
But to trace his entire beauty was pulling my hair as long as 4 months.

My ID is CJNY in BaiDu. I’m a Chinese American who lives in North America. Like Japanese author of , my blood type is “A”. I enjoy beautiful people and things. I love delicious food. And I scan the world throughout by my special 3D view.

As a young child, I have had a very strange habit. Sometimes I was magnanimous. But sometimes I was quite picky. No pattern to follow.
When I growing older, I realized that:
For the people around me, I look at their strongpoint. I am magnanimous.
For the stars on the screen, I have strong insight to feel about their weakness no matter how deep they hide. I am picky as well.
Perhaps because of my squeamish, no any popular people could catch my heart until BYJ.

During the summer in 2006, I saw occasionally. This was the first time that I knew BYJ.
I wondered where I have been before. Was I living in Mars? But why have I watched some other Korean plays? Well, forget about it.
In 20 days, I finished his three plays, <Winter Sonata>, <Untold Scandal>, and <April Snow>. The latter two were Korean version. I didn’t understand a single word. Even though, my eyeballs became sticky and couldn’t switch to anyone else.

To invasion, human body instinctively rejects. As usual, I started to watch BYJ through my special and picky vision. As the result, the more I knew him, the more I admired him. I was not able to get rid off him from my mind, but captured by him entirely instead.

Like most of the others, I began to be attracted by his acting roles. Then, unknowing, the intangible field around this unique star, himself, caught me. And then, sink my head in. Search the photos, videos, news, and all other information about him.

Dropping in swirl. Who can escape? I, of course, like all of the others. The more I watched, the more I enthralled; the more I looked, the more I confused; the more I saw, the more difficult for me to move my eyes away from him.

I knew BYJ’s beauty must be outstanding. Otherwise, how come he could attract me and attracted so many people in the world?
I was trying hard to clear up my feelings about him several times, but I failed all the time. I didn’t understand at all. This has never happened to me before. It seemed no right door for me to enter. Always short words to describe him. It was very gloomy.

After all puzzling, I registered at BaiDu. In Sep. 25, 2006, I posted “Why do you like BYJ?” by my another ID: 十天十天。I wished someone could give me a clue that would help me walking out from the fog.
Of course, the answers were interesting.
As a Chinese fan wrote: “Unclear why love him, but remain hot all the time.”
I smiled. Facing BYJ, no one has enough words. Everybody has similar feelings.
Some Chinese fans were very definite. They don’t want tangling with this issue. Their answer was very simple: “Do we have to have a reason to like a person?”

They are smart. Jump it over. Like then like. Why care about the reasons? Why torture our own nerves?
Sign, I couldn’t. I’m quite stubborn. The foggier the thing is, the more clearly I want to know.
Then, one nerve from head to toe, I started to dig the power of BYJ and tried hard to figure it out why he let me lower my head for him.
Sign again, I tell you this took me totally 4 months.


BYJ: How Come? One Hundred Thousand Times 2

In my list of beauty, the appearance is the first item.
You could be a nice person if you are nice, but not a beauty if you don’t have a good look as well.
Freeze! Don’t argue with me. Sorry, I said I’m picky. *&^

Chinese words are interesting.
不正,“歪”也;
不好,“孬”也;
主母,“毒”也;
亚心,“恶”也;
人谷,“俗”也;
似狼,“狠”也;
三水并二火,谓“淡”,“淡”者,无味也。

What do these words mean?
“歪”means indecent;
“孬”means dastard;
“毒”means malicious;
“恶”means evil;
“俗”means vulgar, stodgy, and low;
“狠”means acridity;
“淡”means insipid or watery.

Who wants these terrible words sticking on the forehead, especially the popular people? They always short time to hide their badness, right?
But unfortunately, as the paper cannot wrap the fire, no one could cover his shortage completely unless he doesn’t have it at all. Or he keeps no speaking, no moving, and has to close his eyes. Otherwise, eh…

Eye, the window of the soul.
No matter how you look, what shape of your eyes, or how you perform in dramas, you cannot let me see those bad words in your eyes. Otherwise you couldn’t get into my heart, that’s your fault. Don’t blame me.
In my dictionary, having those evil words in eyes is no pardonable at all. Beauty? Out of question.

Does BYJ have any tiny little bad words in his eyes?
Be honest, I was watching his photos, videos, and 3 plays very closely. Listen, my answer is NO! He doesn’t have them at all.

There might be tired, shy, embarrass, upset, unease and even sad in his eyes. Although I haven’t seen, I still could imagine there must be sparklet in his eyes when he anger and icy in his eyes when he chill. When he has no one to share, he might feel lonely. When he is sad, he might cry. He has everything in his eyes except the badness.

Everyone says BYJ pure and noble. Is it just his outside? Wouldn’t understand that shallow, right? Without a pure and noble soul, how come there is no any badness in his eyes, talks and behaviors?

But his eyes are sure the only parts that mentioned mostly by someone. I thought his eye is the focus that people arguing whether he is beauty or not.

Many people think he is one the most handsome men in the world. Countless people get higher heartbeat, flush face, screaming, tearful and vertigo just for the sake of his beauty. But there did someone standing in the front of Scandal’s picture and asked: Is he handsome? Where? When public opinion pouring praises on him, there did is a magazine, <时人>, which excluded him from the most 25 beautiful Korean stars.

Forget about that poor magazine. Where did these noises come from? Even though someone did it on purpose, they had to have the causes. What are the causes? I thought that’s his eyes.

Hi, everyone, no jumping yet. I know many people love his eyes. Me too. Please wait. Let me explain.


BYJ: How Come? One Hundred Thousand Times 3

What if transplant his eyes to someone else. You say they look fine or sexy? BINGO! You say they look common or poor? OK! But and but, they are on BYJ’s face. Then everything is distinct.

In the writing, I posted on Sep. 25th, 2006, I wrote, “His eyes, the only parts that someone think not beautiful, become his logo under his esthetic entireness. With the glasses, he looks charming and brilliant. Without the glasses, he looks unique and sexy. Comparing with the actors who have big and deep eyes, BYJ looks even more absorbing.”

Today I read these words again. I still think it’s not wrong even though it‘s not enough overall.

In his eyes, you can see nifty, elvish, frank, modest, respectful, introverted, sexy, warm and so on. Of course you can see lonely and blue, tears when sad, smiles when happy. You can see calm, peace, wise, open, steady, magnanimous, concentrative, and a lots of more. There are many things in his eyes. Twinkle like gem reflecting light.

Once a reporter asked the ring on his finger. BYJ answered it’s mine. I would feel lonely if I forgot to wear it. Wearing it let me feel someone hold me.

Habit is powerful. It affects us unknowing sometimes.
From baby’s blanket to grandpa’s cloth shoes, we all have habit, right?
So do glasses to BYJ. Am I right, Mr. Yong Joon? ^o^

Many people knew BYJ had one eye injured when he was a child. After then, his vision dropped sharply.
People, who wear glasses, know exactly. They will feel uncomfortable without the glasses. At the most of time, they are unwitting that their eyeballs might not be lively as the others do. If wearing the glasses for a long period, the eyelid might protrude and changed. For common people, it’s not a big deal. But for BYJ, this becomes another story.

I just pointed out the first part of BYJ’s beauty: PURE and NOBLE.
Now I would like to talk about the second one: RICH.

He is rich in many sides. The rich in his eyes is just one of them.

When he wearing glasses, he looks confident, lively, nimble, soulful, mild and so on. Sometimes politely, sometimes scholastic, sometimes sexy, sometimes blue, sometimes mysterious, sometimes cool and sometimes …… of course sometimes smile and laugh.

His eye looks very rich and very powerful.

What do you say? You don’t believe me? OK, you let him gaze for just one second. I bet you immediately bang your heart and feel dizzy. Like someone pouring water into your brain, you might become unmovable and incoherent. Even if you had steel teeth or copper mouth, you had succeeded to hold your confession. But I believe in your mind you might be only too glad to let him watching you longer.

No matter how he wears those glasses, he is always absolutely tasteful. If not so, why so many people wear glasses, only he is named the prince of glasses?

With glasses, BYJ looks very brilliant and wonderful. You can see the confidence from his eyes, face and all over of his body.

Taking off the glasses, there might be shy, inhibited, and flashing sight in his eyes. You might see his uncomfortable especially in the front of the camera or unfamiliar people. Sometimes he seems abstracted also. Sometimes his eyes look big, but sometimes they look small. Sometimes he has single layer eyelid, but sometimes double. Sometimes his eyelid looks thin, but sometimes it looks belly. Sometimes his eyes are handsome, but sometimes they are very common. He even has two glimpses in that really chilling me up.

Such many different sights all come from BYJ’s eyes. Can you imagine how rich they are?


BYJ: How Come? One Hundred Thousand Times 4

No matter how you like them or not, no matter how I like them or not, no matter how BYJ likes them or not, you cannot deny. The expressions, that rarely appearing on the handsome man like him, really show up in his eyes. I think that’s because of his eyes and glasses.

The big fall among such more different expressions often made me feel that he can split.

I had this feeling when I watching . JS and MH have different personality. It’s normal if they behave differently, talk differently and dress differently. But it’s amazing that they look totally different from one to another.

When I had been watching the first few scenes in , to the person who only finished , it’s no surprising for me jumping up and shouting “Oh, my God! Is this BYJ?!”

When I saw his Image Vol. 1, oh, mine! My eyeball nearly jumped off from my eye socket. Oh, those muscles, easily clamping mosquitoes. Boy, look at that face and his eyes. He is full of manly, vigorous, forceful, firm, and so on. BinalTech, where is the trace of BYJ? Another man.

Then, his photos with long hair unite the man hard and woman soft. He looks very fine and sexy. Another person again.

After watching more and more BYJ’s photos and videos, I was so impressed by his changeability.

Such a rich human, is he unique? I thought as long as you don’t wear colorful glasses, say black when pointing white; seal oyster waste on eyes, look but no seeing; hold awry rulers, measure unfairly; or have ulterior motives, summarize whole by the fraction, you should see how unique and wonderful he is.

I know what if a tree is taller than wood. But I still want to say a few words.

It’s really unnecessary to be jealous. BYJ will not take extra places except his own one no matter how popular he is. This just like children picking eggs in Easter Day. They will pick up as many eggs as they find, but will not pick stones instead if there are no eggs. This means whether you caught the popularity or not, really depends on you, not BYJ.

I know everyone has different eyeballs and different tastes, But I still want to say I’ll feel sorry to you if you turn your back to him just because you have someone to support ahead. BYJ is such a wonderful actor. I enjoyed. Wish you could enjoy too. If you nasty to him just because of your idol, I’ll say that’s low and superficial.

To someone who giving him hard time on purpose, I want to say that please don’t. BYJ would assimilate all good and bad that throwing on him and become more attractive.

Wait! You stop. Someone may ask. Now what, should you thank those people?
Listen carefully. I will NOT! I ever never say thanks to Qin Kuai who let Yue Fei becoming the No.1 fealty in Chinese history.

As the pioneer, BYJ must be written into the history later on. Please don’t hurt him. Please don’t follow Qin Kuai who is stinking all the time and forever. Please don’t.
2006.12.21








Let’s back to our topic. Did you get my point? The shortage might be the weakness for others. But if there were shortage for BYJ, he would turn it into richness later on. He does have the ability to convert bad to good and poor to rich.

Everyone says he is charming. Many people like him. Why is he so attractive? What is his fascination? I’ll say his richness is one of them.

In my standard, no rich, no beauty.
On Oct. 10th, 2006 I mentioned the world famous models. They have big and deep eyes, perfect facial figures, shaped body, nice muscles and fashion dressings. Then what? Nothing.

No richness, no change, the beauty is no more that a matrix, a former or a film. When the time passes on, they become decrepit, shabby, and out of date.

Similar, Ken Takakura coming manly and leaving manly; Jackie Chen fighting tendon up and tendon down; and Charles Chaplin little beard black eye line and black eye line little beard, they did not change much, but they made one kind of character thoroughly. They are not as standard as the model’s appearantly. But whose did you remember?

Note: I know model’s work just like that. I use them only to put out my thought, not for disparaging.

OK, someone may ask again. According to your words that shortage all becomes to richness, will we all be rich man?
My answer is YES.
But you have to have goals, confidence, courage, wisdom, willpower as BYJ does. You have to keep going and stand firmly as BYJ does. Otherwise, you should thanks God if you haven’t been weed out from the society.

Not only once, I have thought about what if BYJ had a pair of big and deep eyes. Is it good that his eyes are normative enough to mute all the noises? A sound from my deep heart: NO. It’s no good. Let’s think about it this way. If so, BYJ must not be rich like now. Leave his eyes richen his mind aside, how would he have so many expressions like now?

Have you seen how Madam Lee wrote after watching him closely?
>Light double eye, long eyelash, his eyes looked very fine. He looked gentle and soft, firm and steady, brimmed with warm and lonely at the same time.

Ha, do you feel strange after you saw the different describing between Madam Lee and I? Curious?
Actually it is not strange at all. This is BYJ. His richness is unbelievable. From different view, at different time, different people saw different beauties, all from one person, from him, BYJ.

GQ reporter Lee Choog Gul wrote:
>As a shooting model, BYJ’s beauty was out of our imagination.

The famous Korean photographer Mr. Kim in 2003:
>When I shot “同感2”, I met him at the first time. I felt he is a neat and elegant person. I only worried he is too perfect. That might be weaken the affinity between him and the audience.

PERFECT, from the view of the photographer. Would you believe it?
No? You still doubt about it, don’t you? OK, then you watch him through your own eyes just like I do. After you know him enough, you close your eyes. Read your conscience.

How is his forehead?
How is his nose?
How is his lip?
How is his cheek?
How is his chin?
How is his neck?
How is his Adam’s apple?
How is his collarbone?
How is his shoulder?
How is his should blade?
How is his chest?
How is his belly?
How is his waist?
How is his back?
How is his strong arm and long leg?
How is his hair?
How is his skin?

Oh, let me take a break.
Did I forget something? No? Good.

Have you found that BYJ, from head to toes, is not only beauty but sexy also? Do you think even his nail looks beauty and sexy too?

What? What do you say? His eyes?
Oh, how could you? I just said hundreds of words about his eyes before. Woe, mine.

Look at his face, those graceful curves. I thought we should thank God gave him a pair of man eyes.
If his eyes big, deep and gentle as girls, well, man’s body with woman’s face, where is the napkin? I think I’m going to cry.
If his eyes big, deep and gentle as girls, he will definitely lose at least one pair of the contrast which between soft face curves and rigid eyes.

His eyes are not beautiful. They are unique, touching, rich, and sexy. His eyes richen him throughout his inner and outer. I haven’t seen any one has the eye expressions as rich as he does. I think that his eyes are the trigger of his beauty. They impress me so much.

What? Our own eyes are not trustful too sometimes? Oh, OK. Let’s make this way.
If BYJ’s face is not beautiful, why did someone doubt that he had plastic surgery?
If BYJ’s body is not beautiful, why did someone doubt that his photos in Vol.1 were synthetic.
If BYJ is not beautiful, why did someone say he is a “man-made” beauty?

Let’s put aside how many praises and attentions BYJ received, how many fields and countries he affected, and how wide span of fan’s age and occupations. We just listen the people who intended to pull his prop away. Do you feel they sound just like carrying him in a sedan chair?

if the assaulting from the oppenents becomes applause, is it still a question about BYJ's beauty ?

My words are that he absolutely, definitely and implicitly is one of the most influential beauties in the entire Asia.

Jaime's Den - Photography Sensual II

While I am slacking off, our good Jaime is at work keeping this blog alive. Thank you Jaime! Nice work! These pictures are breathtaking! Again we can always learn something new in the world of art every time we receive your new writings. What a gift to be with you. Just I got to do some work to get the music playing well. And I've got to pick up the translation work, I am afraid my skills are getting a little rusty now.

Just checked on baidu.com BYJ Forum, found today's news about BYJ ...

Annyeonghaseyo, I’m in Seoul.

The TWSSG filming team filmed at the Yongin set.

Bae Yong Joon ssi stopped by at the gym around 2 pm and worked out until around 3:30 pm.

He, who enjoys “well-being” food, comes to and gets take-out like today because he likes
the food of .

I hope he can relax for tomorrow’s filming.

If you click the URL in the above, you can see the map of the Yongin set and its surroundings.

In the left below, you can see the large lake which Bae Yong Joon ssi used to enjoy fishing;
and in the upper right, there is the filming set.

Looks like there is a good chance of seeing BYJ if we stick around GIK a lot, esp. around a bit after the peek lunch time. Just my guess. The news did not mention what time he picked up the food though. Could be for dinner too. Funny, every time talking about BYJ having dinner, I kept thinking about the scenes in WLS when he had the Sashimi with Che-lin, he was soooo cute.

Haola... Now let's enjoy Jaime's Sensual BYJ...

================================================================


Dear sisters ….. (nice words about Quilt, omitted upon Jaime's request)



After completing ‘part I of my photographic art series’ on an antique botanical journal last year, my curiosity was aroused on other works by this relatively unknown photographer. To my pleasant surprise, her next published book on ‘cyanotype’* does not disappoint.

Intrigued by this antiquated art of photographic printing, photographer Zeva Oelbaum ushered us into a world of rich, infinite variation of blues, dressing up her images as contemporary art forms.





I have always been enchanted by the serene beauty of the blue spectrum, educed from the deepest mysterious midnight sky to the lightest translucent fluidity of flowing creek. From velvety rich indigo blue and refreshing tropical aqua blue to luxurious shimmer of silvery blue, these elegant shades emanate emotions of tenderness, melancholy, solitude, sensuality and even seduction.





Through this exquisite colour of soul, all superfluous details are liberated leaving only the intrinsic silhouette, rewarding us with the essence of the image. We are at liberty to interpret the interactions of their forms - as a pattern, a movement or life itself.




Being a photography enthusiast and a former student of Film Studies in Sung Kyun Kwan University, our prince can indeed recognize the art and science of cyanotype and the special place it holds in the history of photography.

This 1970s classic instrumental piece ‘Samba Pa Ti’** by the legendary Carlos Santana embraced me into the sentimental fantasy world of our prince Yong Joon. What a pleasure to explore every facet of his majestic physique and sensual move! It is such a fulfillment to coalesce that modernism and mystic sentiment with his heavenly silhouette. My admiration and love for this extraordinary human being has deepened once again through this creative progression. I love to share my infinite passion towards Yong Joon with you, hope you enjoy our sensual prince in cyanotype.






Note :

* Cyanotype is an old monochrome photographic printing process. The chemical formula was invented by British astronomer Sir John Herschel in 1842 (3 years after the invention of photography) to provide an efficient method to duplicate large scale engineering charts and calculations. The resulting print is of cyan-blue background with a white outline of the image known as blue print.

** ‘Samba Pa Ti’ by Carlos Santana
